And here comes the Countess of Ulcrmnnt along with l.aily William (iordon, telling of life at I'aris and Marie Antoinette. There ia m gentleman riiling near, and, as hn salutes Charles Kox. (be Duchess of Devonshire, with her prightly vivacity, quotes the i inn inn lliiiunil " The comely Villirrs with his listen locks." Here com oa the brilliant Cnlmiel St. I.egnr, a star of iitniiioii, anil Hint ni mo lair, lie is weicoineii with the sweetest smiles by tlm Duchess of Devonshire. Itnt tho smile vanishes as St. I,fger announces that the Durh.-si ol Uuiland. tho brightest ornnmeni id the l'e- li'e r.-miiln aristmiracy, isdtiving hither in her pony cniriigo. There they are, the twn rival beauties nl the il-iy Devonshire exceeding in lascitmtion.aml Hut-land iiurivnlod in grace the first a dnnghter of ihe house of Spencer, and inheriting much nl the versatile talent of her rate; tho second a Somerset, with tho blood nf the I'lantagenota in her veins, Itolh eipinl in I the amount of admiration which followed them, but Devonshire decidedly carrying the palm in popularity,' and the other achieving tho victory iu power. What a stalely air has Untland, as she proudly aweepa by ! Kreah Irom her vice-regal throne, she seems lo have ac-niiirn. more imposing dignity. Ami she smilea wilh Mattered pride na she thinks of the lines in which Km announced her compieat, when she was Marchioness of tiranby : " Va metonri, wlinwltb mad career llsvn rnd tlinmgli hsilitnn'a sltmni.here, And thou, yiMittft, fair, Untsttlo Dfvnn, Wild at tbe rniiift In mll h,-Bi.n llfdn year diminished hesdi, nnr its?

It ia clmrnoteriatic of the lime that the first debater should be alao the fashion of tho day. Ay! thefmhion; and whntapell ihere wna in that word in those days, wheu Kox waa playing hia great part! It would have been good policy iu thuse days for a statesman with tho Kinti and Oueeti adverse lo him to court the smiles of celebrated beauty. Hut see ! Ho is not a favorite wilh ull tho lovely womun. There is another lady in a pony carriage lor pony driving ia tho icnmie rage ol inu time, mint a decideil cut this lady has given lo Kox, who noemod nuxioiia to mlilto her! She ia very beautiful mill, though already she bus had iwo iiusDiinos, aim sotno say mat sue is secretly married to ; but thereby hangs a tale, and there, toe, lies the rennou wiiy Mrs. Kilzhetbert turns away her head from Charles r'ox. And now the Park ib getting thin, nnd the iinv char- ink-era turn homeward their bury steeds. Kox, loo, iH preparing to leave, He looks rather more grave than we could like. Could the apparition ol Mrs. Kilher-hert have atiL-neiied uiiploasant iliatiL'hts ti him 7 Or does he wnui to shako oil' that boring Tom Slepney wiiii wuiiih m nnu wiiu nun i vou, no is at lasiaioue, riding out through f Jloucoster-gale, und he puts his horse to a canter, and in soon at his favorite tiiour the house nf Mrs. Armistond. Ah ! that name conjtircaup recollections of unlawful love. Yea! and of a lovo that cherished Kox ns he wua loved hy none other in the world ! Which of all hia guy worldly companions, of an ine irmniis that extolled ins genius, would dona that woman, and risk life to secure tho existence of the popular leader T Now she in his mistress, but the day snail como wtien no will grnietiiliy call tier by the sacred name of wile, and pit" her his hand in marriage, as the oidy recompense in his power for risking her life aa hia nurse in u contagious malady that but for her wniiui i iivo proved mortal. Him aoems aiirnrised to aoe him. She did not nxn him for anothor hour. So much the better hn has something to read before dinner. Tnnsiiiff himself on a solii, he draws from his pocket n paper that we saw this morning. Yen ! it ia ihe " K.

Kox rends nefmircs, nnd lenrnn trnm onn who in the scrence of oolitics was his master. " Well," ho mutters, ' what gnnius nnd knowledge this good Kiilimind has!

Well! whiln Kox is dinitiL' wo ahull see what ihn Commons are about, who ar eagerly waiting for ins appearance. Hero we lire mold St. Woollen's ! Ihn lirst thing ih'tt sir ikes us is Ihe plnimieas nf the room where the cine! rulers ol Mm imiislt r; moire am assembled. lime is no hplendid Hall, no ti-asnlated corridor, no mug tirawu visia, or iroima wans ol lioiutn arcintec-turn. Tho whole place reminds one of a superior de scription of a Dissenting meeting-house. Here nrn the gentlemen of I'ltiglnnd nsseiiihlcd to the number ol nearly live hundred. How easy it i to Know tho Op. position, with thn number of blue nnd bulls nmnng them. What a number id' old men nre in Ihe llnuso! and there nre also n number of very young men, fresh from college. Hut where is Pitlt lie has not come yet ; ihere is his place vuc iint on the Treasury bench, and Ihoro is I'ilt's rilit-biintl man lall Harry Dundas reHily to sing Ihe S-'otch tune of ' U ha wanls met" I.ook at ih;it mid, (picer rroatiim, looking hlco nu over grown alirimp iu contortion. Ah! Unit is a great friend of I'itt'a 'tia young Wilherlorce, the member for Yorkshire. Tlmyniing man talking to him, with a star on his brenst, nnd with n pair of eyes outshining his alar, ia young Lord Moruiugtnn a poor Irish l.onl ritUier a favorite with the Km''. Ho has not vet re- alii'd Ihe exiectaiiona formed of him. '('hern is Sir John Scott, the Altorimy-(ieiieral, with his grave, sensible, sturdy face. What n contrast hn ia to that elo-gatii, nristocratic-lnnkiiig member on the front Opwmi-lion bench! That is Mr. Krskine, another ol the brilliant advocates who have failed iu St. Stephen's. There, at the miilillo of tho front bench, ia Kdhh. the Secretary of llio Treasury, careworn and Hurried, looking na anxious as if his Now Korest property was luken from him. How unlike he is to his brother Secretary Steele ihn mom her fnr Chichester a oicturo of Silenus. Hut what a Mabel of noise! We can scarcely catch n word that lulls from llio member on hia legs, y hemently lloiiiishittg a paper in his hand. How odd it InnUs to mco a public Kpenlier haranguing with spectacles on hin umno, iko this unheard member! 'Tia Iturko! Ah! You see what a rniro ho is iu. while. ihanks In tint cl.iwnidt-lnoking pernnii K-dln, the member fnr Devon not n word is heard from "Ihe greatest mnn then living." Hut the fault is not alto gether with Ihe Omnium. I, ike oilier men of genius, lturke is arrogant, moroHo, nnd is embittered wi'li personal niiunyunces. 'Tti the unhnppiest lime of his iiTo, He ails down nnd how well listened lo is ihe nexi speaker, with his formal, slow, and precise man ner. I hat a (oMiro IVinkt-M, the member for Onrfn Uiislle oiienf the most independent men in the House a man who would not liarler bis independence lor an earldom. Hen how that tall, emaciated looking man is noting ihn statements nf II Hikes. Ho gela up lo reply. Th Sir Philip Kraiicia. How impatient are hiagcHiuroa! how sharp ishistnne! how acrimonious in maimer! And lie is lollnwi d hy sonio nondescriid on th Treasury bench. Hut seo Ihn Inistlo below tho bar! Yes! there stalks Ihu slately ligure or William Pill, inarching along the pathway lo the Treasury bench ! He looka like one horn tor power, wilh that wide imperial brow that lordly air of supremacy tbnt sovereign atari at the emlmtlled front or Opposition. There is something of his sire about his carriage; but his features have thn firiinvilh look, as his blood partake o its phlegm. Hn is dressed wilh elaborate for maliiy. in his customary black waistcoat and blue hotly coal. And now there is fresh noise below the gangway and while llio Speaker, roaring "Order, order! below ihe bar " " In vain Ihe pwr nl atreiigl lion ine porter rriea, And nods to Hcllsmy f.ir Ireslt lapliPB ' in comoa ihe imich-desired Charles Kox, greatly to tlm reliel o Ihe diaenmhllod Oppnlllin, who imw havr the worst of Ihn debate. That is Lord Kerrey Ihe Protistanl l.oid Surrey talking "lo Knx. Penple whisper that Lord Surrey ia still a Papist, and it is said that bo still wears that ugly mat on him ns n i mice. And now Sheridan is up! How well he does ill and Imw readily thn House give its ear to him. while he du.ilos it with ingenious Ihouehls, menses wilh his fancy, though his declamation fails to slir the passions. His tone is not deeper or higher than that ot mo comedy in winch ho has immnrhiheii ins name How angry poor Hnrke looks at Sheridan's success! Itivals at ihe same side nre always more jenloua than avowed adversaries tare to lace. At last I'ilt rises, All is hushed. His figure seems ton lall for an orator, and bis aspect is forbidding, with his stern and haughty air. Hut his voice ia that of a ilemi-god. How gloriously it fills llio ear, as the Hpnnker a swelling sentences are iiuetdly rolled lorili in mellillnoua harmony. Tho action it llowing nnd facile, ton unvaried fnr perfectly artistic grace, but wilh enough of elocutionary art. Not only every word but every syllable ia distinctly caught. If wo had not heard Inm wo could scarcely imagine this blended force and harmony, this energy without discord, this marvelous facility muled In imposing ata'eliness. In hia words, as in his matter, there is no appeal to imagination, but the whole man, wilh his air of heaven-given dictatorship, his awe-inspiring severity of deportment, his lolty acorn for his foes, hia evident faith in himseii pistihed ny his vast powers wo say, tin whole man does kindle up our iiuaginatinii, and vital foes our recollection of Athenian and It-1 man story Here is that man whoso prowess would have daunted ihn sensdivo soul of Cicero, whose logic, of rlearness beyond all I Imt the srhnnla could leach, and musical thunder of grandly terrible declamation, might have contorted with lealouiy tho heart nl Pcmoslhetiei, Hero is the king of men tint ruler of bis time who, long before thirty summers have passed, hits changed the fate of parties crushed the Whips reconstructed on new principles tho party of the Court allied thn Tories to the commercial energy of the land unfurled his banner of " British Umpire," and inscribed it with hia tnoito, 11 Shins, Colonies, and Cnmmorro." Kor three hours, Willi unfaltering force, ho haa defied his adversaries, and defended bin resolves, and, amid rr- viirberattng volleys nf cheers, resumes his sent, himself llio only unmoved human being in that spellbound na-sembly.Well, Km never can answer that display. You cry "What a oily that ho spent all his day naunleriuc about! And last night, loo, how he wasted it in the .......... ,!... n......L m....;. ....... i.:. .ii- ...p... nr,t,, g Ml ..... '-nu strains!" Yon think that Kox must break dhwn, and you feel for him. aa with heavy . lumbering air he ad vnncea slowly to Ihe table, ami fumbles awkwardly with hia lingers. There he stands, amid a dead silence of expectation, book at hia careless, half-miltoned vest, hia crumpled linen, Ida almost slovenly attiro. What Is ho saying t Wu can not hear him distinctly Ho seems unite confused, anil hia sentences nrn all en tangled. Ahl hn must fail, nahis father bofore him did when " battling it out " with another Pitt. Ilia voice, too, how different is its coarso ami husky sound from the sonorous organ of hit gifted loo. His gssturot, tlso, how commonplace hia wholo air how ungainly, as we contrast it with ihe etateliness of the last speaker. Hut how very still tho House ia! Tho Opposition do not aeem dispirited, nor does tho '1 reasury bench look prematurely elated. Itolh sides know by experience ttm nature ol I lie man uetoro them. His voice ia getting more clear he has got rid of that unseemly obstruction to his utterance. We find that he is saying, iu very plain and uuali'ected words, that the minister, though adroit and artful, is, a Tier all, very superficial in his viowa, lie Charles Kox does not mean to deny that a caaeol appnrent strength and reason might bo made by the minister. Well, he fancies the case and wo are surprised to find him restating his adversary's case. He doea U with clearness, precision, and transparent simplicity of stylo. This case could not bo put more strongly for the other side than Kox has put it. He uolisia attention and sympathy by the equity of his statement. 'Vis his art! Mis his matchless art, which died wilh Kox. Now, then, he has the caao fairly beforo tho Hiuiso now the raatier in dispute ia clearly seen. Ha! wilh what ovorwhelming vehemonce, what terrific impetu osity he anathematizes tho contemptible sophistry of mo cusu wine ii no iibu recon i ly jim roaiaiou : no scouts its niter absurdity, and rends to pieces the wholo argument. He analyzes it, and refutes each assertion separately; ho returns again and agnin to tho main proposition, never gliding away with ambiguous language or skulking from a difiiculty. This plain downright manner disarms all suspicion of sophistry. anu you evidently son that ho is making havoc wilh the substance of Pitt's speech. Now how he glows with ardor as ho approach s a part of the question where Immunity is concerned T He becomes more intense every moment. A new view of tho whole question, not thought of before, ia hurstiog upon th astonished House. The speaker's masculine senso is translating into Parliamentary Knglish the over subtle nnu nhsiracied conclusions ol the " K. Ji. ' paper, Vast prospects of great social good flash into the speaker a soul, nod he poors forth all his thoimhts with tho fiery impulsiveness of nn enthusiast. His argument becomes impassioned ; his reasoning blends into the speaker's soul. This is llio ignited logic the Creek fire of heart stirring eloquence the tongue lo plead lor Ihe ininred and oppressed In sneak ol hu man nnguish. This is the man who would burn to break tho shackles of the dusky trilios of Africa. Thoso nenr him seo the tears bursting from his eyes inose iar oil hear the votco mltorina with sympathy. and the genuine sensibility of a strong man has magic power over the sympathies, lie is carrying the Home with him: how he revels in his powor ! Hn realizes to his mind the pleasure described by an anonymous essayist of antiquity the heart-stirring joy of anccoss- lill extempore speaking; "Mod extemporaha nudncite., ntqiio i puma temerilntis, vel pneeipua jiicunditas est . . urahora tamen nam sua aiionte nmscuntur. Completely carried away himself by his own eiitlinsi asm, and hy that which he ban raised, hia pulse at lover heat, and ins heart knocking ntmihst In ribs. amid a tempest o cheers ho sinks hack into his sent, exultant in tbe glory nf stirring to the very depths the deep. lying passions ol Ihn Commons ol hnglahd ! Pitt s speech now seema like Ihe recollection of mighty sound in your ear. Kox baa left upon you the imprcHnn that ho had all the reason nnd argument nn his aide. I'itt gave you little materials for thinking upon, and Kox poured forth mnasos nf thought. Hut you do not stoti to criiiciso. Your eyes aro fix oil on ihe rush to roxs seat, and on the eager crowd ol roaring wings who soek to grasp their champion s h ind ; and yon leave the i louse astonished how a man of liii apparently idle habits can show himself ihe match lor Pitt, another prodigy of powers 'rarnin their separate excellence, won lerful in their special combination." Yon wonder still more when you find uint rex a speech uaa scarcely mirj upon the division The minister has gained by three to one, and Kox'n glory is to inspire his beaten parly in the Inm r of defeat witu hopes ot iniiire victory. Follow tho orator as he drives to Hoodie's, where he sups. There again he is first among the first, revel mg in spirits, not presuming in tun least upon his in tellectual superiority. As in ihe morning at Brooke's, so now at Hoodie's, he is welcomed by all, and mnkea himself happy among them. Well, ho is entitled to close the night with pleasure, nnd repose from his labors. Closothoiiight.' WhnialksofdningitTf Why, thou rustic novice, know that Charley Knx (again he is Charley) is now only beginning it ! See his countenance beaming with gratification ns bo drains the flow ing heakera. Ilnw lie eiiioys and lakes part in the rattling talk ami vehemently vivacious gayoty of the wits and talkers around him.

The storm ho had predicted came on 1 and by the evening ut the loiiownig day, sea and wind were thundering, in their might, ugitinst the foot of the crags. Guy looked from tho window the last thing at, night, and saw the stars twinkling overhead wilh that extreme brilliancy which is often seen in the intervals of fitful storms, nnd which suggested thoughts that sent him to sleep in a vague, soothing dream. He was awakened by one tremenduus contiunod roar of sea, wind, and thunder combined. Such was the darkness, that he could not see the form of ihe window, till a sheet of pain blue lightning brought it fully out for the moment, fie sat up, and listened to tho " glorious voice" that followed it, thought what an awlul niht at sea, and remembered when he used to fancy it would he the height of felicity to hnve a shipwreck nt Rcdclyfie, and shocked Mrs. Hernard by inhuman wishes that a ship would only come and be wrecked. How often had ho watched, through sounds like these, for a minute gun ! nny, hehnd once actually called op pour Annual iu the middle of the night for an imaginary signal. Uedclytle bay was a very danger ous one, a line pinco lor a wreck, wilh its precipitous crags, its single safe landing place, and the great Sling Stone on the easiern aide, with a whole progeny of nearly sunken rocks, dreaded in rough weather by the iimivrmeii inemsoives; omit was out oi tint orumury track of vessels, nnd there were only a few trad ii ions ot lerrtide wrecks long holore the lime. It seems as if he hud worked up his fancy again, for Ihe sound of a gun was for a moment in his oar. It wan lost in the rush of hail against the window, and the moaning ol Ihn wind around the house; but pre sently it returned, too surely to be imagined. He ii rang to the window, nnd Ihe broad flickering glnreof lightning revealed the black dill ami pale sea line; then all was dark and Mill, while the nlorm was bold tug its breath for the thunder burnt which in n few tnoro seconds rolled ovor-heiul, tihaking door and win dow throughout ihe house. As thn awful sound died away, in ihn moment's lull, come the gun again. He threw up the window, and an the blast of wind nnd rain swept howling into tho room, It brought another report. 'I'o close tho window, light hia candle, throw on his clothes, and hasten down stairs, wns the work jjf n very few spcolids. Luckily, Ihe key of the bont-hoiiso was lying ou tho table in the hall, where ho had left it, niter showing the boat to the Ash lord boys; he sei2ed it, caught up tho pocket telescope, put on c rough coat, nnd proceeded to undo the endli-sn fasten ings of the hall door, a very patience trying occupation: and when completed, tho gusts that were eddying round the house ready lo force lli"ir way iu everywhere, took advantage nf the firstopening to blow out his candle. However, they had in one way done good nervico, for tho shower had been as brief as it was violent, and the inky cloud wan drifting away furiously towards ihe cast, leaving ttie moon visible near hor selling, and allowed her white, cold light to shine forth, contrast ing wilh the distant sheets of pale lightning growing fainter and fainter. (iuy rati across the court, round lo the west side nf thn house, and struggled up the slope in the lace ol the wind, which almost awept him down again, nnd when at length ho had gained the snnunil, came rushing against him with such force that ho could hardly aland. Undid, however, keep his ground, and gazed mil over the sen. 1 he swell was leartul, marked hy I ho hllver light on one side, where it caught jlm moonbeams, and the black shade on tho other, ever alferimiiug so thai the eye could not fix on I hom fnr n moment. The sprny leapt high in its whitenesB, and the Shntr stood up hard, hold nnd black. The waves thundered, burst ing on llioiiilt, and, high ns bo stood, the spray dashed, almost blinding him in the face, while the wind howled round him, as if gathering its might for the very purpose of wrenching him from thn dill'; but ho stood hrm, and looked out again to discern clearly what he bod thought he had seen. It was the mast of n vessel, seen plainly against tho light silvery distance of sea on tho west ot the Shag. It was in a slanting diroction, and did not move. Ho could not doubt that the ship hail struck on the dangerous rocks at Ihe entrance of the bay, and as his eyes became more accustomed In the unusual light, and made out what objects were or were not familiar, he could perceive the ship herself. He looked wilh the gtaB, but could sen no onn on hoard. nor were any boats lu sight; but observing some of ine lesser rocks, no heboid some moving hgures on them. Help! instant help! wna hia thoughts, nnd he looked toward the cove. Lights were in ihe cottage windows, and a few sounds vnme up to him, as If the fishing population wore astir. Ho hastened In the Bide of the cliff, which was partly clothed wilh brushwood. There was n descent it could hardly be culled a paih which no one ventured to attempt but himself and a few ol the boldest birds'-nesting boys of the villngo ; but he could Into no time. and scrambling, leaping, swinging himself hy Ihe bran cues, un rnaciieu ine loot ol the chit in salely, and In live minutes more was on thn nosy at thnoiidof the steep street of the cove. 1 ho quay wan crowded with Ihe Indie r people, and there wns a a Iron en conlnsion of voices, some amine all wns lost; some that ihe crow hnd got to the neks; others that some one ought to put oil and help them ; others that a Ixmt would never live in such a sen, and an old telescope was in great requisition. Hen. Hoi in son, ii lull, hardy young man oltiye-nnd-twenty, wild, reckless, high'Spiriied, and full ol mis chief and adventure, was standing ou a pile at the ex treme verge above ihn foaming water, daring the oth ers to go wilh him to ihn rescue; and lboti-;h James ilbiiry, a leeble old man, was declaring in a piteous tone it was a sin and a shame to let so many poor creatures be Inst iu night, wiiboiit one mini stirring to help them, yet all alood irresolute, watching ihn white breakers dashing on the Shag, ami the high waves that swelled and rolled between. Do you know whero ihe crew nre?" exclaimed Cuy, ahouling as loud aa he could, for the noiae of the wind and waves wna Ircim-edoon. " There, air, on the Hal blink atone," said the fortu-nato possessor of ihe telescope; "Hume ten or eleven nflliem, 1 fancy, nil huddled together." "Ay, ay!" said old Ledbury.

THE DEFENCES OF CONSTANTINOPLE. A military correspondent of thn London Times, who appears to have attentively examined the capabilities ol delence of Constantinople in case of attack, gives tho following description id' them: It requires a very favorable wind or theasiiutauce of steamboats, to enable a fleet to penetrate into tbe Dardanelles. The mail boat takes sixteen hours rrom the entrance or tho strait to the Golden Horn the nort of fJoiiatmitiniinlo. Th fortifications raised at the Dardanelles, have, moreover, ndded still more formidable dele rice a to those created by nature. Two formidable batteries, well armed, aro erected at the very entrance of tho strait, nl tho point at which the waters of the Black Sea fall into the Mediterranean. These batteries aro called"Seddil-Hal-snr," and " Ktimknlessi." Tho system of batteries on the two sides is continued in the strait itself. Timae batteries aro mounted with 400 guns, nnd nerved by a brigude or artillery, command oil by a 1'aslia. A regiment of the brigade in Indued in bat racks on each side. and well exercised nt handling their guns, for, ns is well known, tho artillery is tho beat corps in the Turkish army. Among the guns by which the passage of the Dardanelles is defended, Ihoro is one which deserves particular notice. Such guns bear llio name of ktmmtrlwkt in Turkey, nnd cast stone balls of tlm weight ol 10 quintals. Tho charge of gunpowder is nearly 0110 quinlnl. The battery in which llio kemmcrlicki are placed is called " Sullanijets " " Buttery of the Sultan." It is situated on tho Asiatic side, near the residence of ihe Tabha who commauded the brigade. It contains l2 pieces of nrtillory. Opposite to it, on thn European side, nre two batteries, the "Tntnasin," placed aide by aide wilh tho "Kilu Bihar," with 8i guns. The laiicr contains tho largest piece of artillery iu Tnrkoy. It is a kcmmcrlick, which casts stone balls of l'J quinlnls' weight. The point on which thene batteries is eroded in the narrowest in the Dardanelles. Any ships which should oudeavor to force tho strnil would, consequently, havo tu puss under a cross fire of ".1)0 pieces ol artillery, without counting all tho others which thoy might meet in their pasnnge. Tho Dardanelles could stop n French or ting Iish fleet which should endeavor to reach Constantinople; It is through this strait, which forms the southern maritime gate of Cotislanl'mople, that ihe combined Hoots of Great Britain und Franco must pass, to arrive nt tho capital, or beyond it, to protect it on the side of the Bosphnrus and the Black sen. It is through llio Hnsphorus, which forms tho northern maritime gate, (hat thn Russian lleet, coming from Odessa, would fmvo to enter. Now, lot 11s seo what are thn toon lis of de-jonce on the side of the Boapliorus nnd tho Hlack sea. This is tho moat important subject, under existing cir-ciunstiuices. It is llm point most metinced, because it is by that tho HtisMttti fleet will arrive from Sebaslopol, in enso it should make a serious nttempt by aen to take posrieasion of Ihe capital of Turkey. The Kinumn fleet in the Black sen in composed of thirteen ships of the line, or which six nro of ,o gnus, eight frigalen or CO guns, six corvettes, nnd twelve vessels of inlerinr sio. Thin Meet in supplied with a. park id artillery, of Inrge calibre, but it in drticieiit in stenmboiilH, which render iis evolutions difiieuli, and might become dangerous, particularly in the neighborhood of tho Uosphorus. The navigation of the Black sea oilers, in fact, much danger. The winds ure inconstant in that ea. They cannot bo depended on for many days in succession. The wind varies Irom nno point to another, and raises such a swell, ihat a fleet at sen could with dillictilty escape; for there is, in f.iet, no harbor nn tlm Asiatic tide, and Varna is ihe only port on the Knropenit side capable of receiving ships of large tonnage. But Voma ia a very atrong piano belonging to Turkey, nr,il to which the Kunsinns could not have acress en-ily. The Black aea is. moreover, frequently nnd suddenly covered wilh a thick log nn thick that it is imponsilde toaeolOO yards ahead, nnd, consequently, largo el rips navigating togelher, inn the risk of tailing foul of earh other, or of miming on the slmntB. The banks of Ihe two sides nt the HoHphoriis nre covered, throughout ihe year, with ihe wrecks of ships, nnd deud bodies, which ihe' sen has thrown up. Numorons modes nf defense have been created, more over, by artificial means, to defend Ihe entrance of the Hosphonis. There are "A hutterien, well nrmcd on both hnnki. l-.uch of these batteries forms a small Htone fnrlrooi, provided with barracks, powder, magazines, ni.d a inosqno; and behind each is a small village. The batteries ore tilnced nnrtlv in tlm It,.. phoiua, opposite each other, so that a ship attempting the passa;o would he exposed to tho cross-fire of both banks. Two others nro situated out of ihn Hnsnl.iirn. on Ihe Kuropean aide, and two on the Atlantic coast of llio Black Sea. Tho two batteries erocUd at the Infinities ol' n t'"' "t me ioapiiorua are provided wh .iuM-hmisoa, (fenert) and are. for that reason. called that, on the Asiatic side, ' Amntoll Fener," and mat in iMiropo, " Kumili l-eimr." Tho Pnsha, at tho Is-ad ol the artillery of the Black Bea, resides at Rutin U Fener, and his house commands au extensive view ol tho aen. In tho Bo.phorus itself, close to the entrance, are ilht butteries, four on each aide. Those are the (int. teries chielly for defense. They contain (15 guns of tho largest size. They are placed in ihe narrowest pari ol' the strait, where tho width does not exceed l,.fthO yords. Tho waters or tho Black Sea rush through this passage, with impetuosity, and its navigation ia rendered still more (Jangerous by I ho shallowness of the water in one spot, where tho vessels, in ordr to avoid the shoals, nre obliged to anoronrh wilhin 500 yaids of the Asiatic batteries, so that n lleet which : should attempt to foico au entrance, would be lilernlly ! riddled by phot. I Further mi in the Strait, this system of batteries coniinues. nome nre piacmton a level with the ground, bo as tn sweep the stir lace of the sea, and others aro erected on tho summii of rocks, plunging their lire on llio ships. The guns nre mounted on a siono platform, in order to obviate Ihe inconveniences occasioned in mannutvering them by the changes in tho temperature. Above each battery is a wooden tower nf symmetrical construction, surmounted bv a long nolo for the lines. oeee pom mtvu nn leiegrspilB mr tno transmission 01 orders along the whole line of Ihe Bosnhorua. Whun a ship of ihe Ottoman navy passes, ihe batteries 1. a lute her by hoisting n ting, bearing the crescent and tho star. Tlm sultnn sometimes comes to breathe the sea air in oils of his pi I aces on Iho Hosphorus. All tfie batieries then hoist a large banner, bearing a white aun 011 a crimson ground. A brigade of anilb-ry is specially charged with the service of the batteries along the Bosphorus and Bloc k Sea, nnd another Is intrusted with the defence of ihn Dardanelles. It consists ot Iwo regiments, ot six com panies of l.r0 men each in all 1,80(1 artillermen. 1'tiese artillerymen are well drilled, und were ornatt- ied by the I'mssi ui Colonel Kurkowsky, assisted by a number of non-commissioned officers he had brought with him. It will be seen by this summary descrtntlon of ibn fortifications of Constantinople, that the Capital of tho lurRish r. ui pirn, even 11 abandoned to ilaff, would not bo so easily conquered. Tho elements, iho approach to the Bnsphorns on the side of tlm Hlnrk 8en. the dangerous passage of Iho Siraita, tho fortiticaiinus roustrucied by the Turks, tho numerous batteries erected on both sides of the Channel, and tlm -1,11 guns mourned on ihem, served oy good artillerymen, are means of resistance against which, in all probability, thn KiiflHimi tl-et would fail. JI we add to thesn thn Turkish fleer, ntid, m ruso of need, tho Rnglisb and French lleols, it will be easily believed that Onnslnnlb imple is not yet on the event falling into the linnds of the tiinpemr Nichi.lns, even Ihoiifih bn iltmild tling wny llm mask, und declare openly hia secret designs. The Kmp -ror himself hns said nno must havo atroni: Ireth to crack such mils; and iho question is, doea ho believe ihat lit has Iho requisite set? Ho heat ran answer the question; but my opinion now, nn in Ihe hnpintiiug ol this question, is, that so long ns Knglnnd and Franco tire united to protect Turkey from agression, Bosnia will be powerless to assail her. It is not alone BiiL'htnd und Franco that nro interested in protecting Turkey (mm ruin. All Unropn in equally so, in iiutititiiuiiiig iis own equilibrium.

What Is ho saying t Wu can not hear him distinctly Ho seems unite confused, anil hia sentences nrn all en tangled. Ahl hn must fail, nahis father bofore him did when " battling it out " with another Pitt. Ilia voice, too, how different is its coarso ami husky sound from the sonorous organ of hit gifted loo. His gssturot, tlso, how commonplace hia wholo air how ungainly, as we contrast it with ihe etateliness of the last speaker. Hut how very still tho House ia! Tho Opposition do not aeem dispirited, nor does tho '1 reasury bench look prematurely elated. Itolh sides know by experience ttm nature ol I lie man uetoro them. His voice ia getting more clear he has got rid of that unseemly obstruction to his utterance. We find that he is saying, iu very plain and uuali'ected words, that the minister, though adroit and artful, is, a Tier all, very superficial in his viowa, lie Charles Kox does not mean to deny that a caaeol appnrent strength and reason might bo made by the minister. Well, he fancies the case and wo are surprised to find him restating his adversary's case. He doea U with clearness, precision, and transparent simplicity of stylo. This case could not bo put more strongly for the other side than Kox has put it. He uolisia attention and sympathy by the equity of his statement. 'Vis his art! Mis his matchless art, which died wilh Kox. Now, then, he has the caao fairly beforo tho Hiuiso now the raatier in dispute ia clearly seen. Ha! wilh what ovorwhelming vehemonce, what terrific impetu osity he anathematizes tho contemptible sophistry of mo cusu wine ii no iibu recon i ly jim roaiaiou : no scouts its niter absurdity, and rends to pieces the wholo argument. He analyzes it, and refutes each assertion separately; ho returns again and agnin to tho main proposition, never gliding away with ambiguous language or skulking from a difiiculty. This plain downright manner disarms all suspicion of sophistry. anu you evidently son that ho is making havoc wilh the substance of Pitt's speech. Now how he glows with ardor as ho approach s a part of the question where Immunity is concerned T He becomes more intense every moment. A new view of tho whole question, not thought of before, ia hurstiog upon th astonished House. The speaker's masculine senso is translating into Parliamentary Knglish the over subtle nnu nhsiracied conclusions ol the " K. Ji. ' paper, Vast prospects of great social good flash into the speaker a soul, nod he poors forth all his thoimhts with tho fiery impulsiveness of nn enthusiast. His argument becomes impassioned ; his reasoning blends into the speaker's soul. This is llio ignited logic the Creek fire of heart stirring eloquence the tongue lo plead lor Ihe ininred and oppressed In sneak ol hu man nnguish.

Thoso nenr him seo the tears bursting from his eyes inose iar oil hear the votco mltorina with sympathy. and the genuine sensibility of a strong man has magic power over the sympathies, lie is carrying the Home with him: how he revels in his powor ! Hn realizes to his mind the pleasure described by an anonymous essayist of antiquity the heart-stirring joy of anccoss- lill extempore speaking; "Mod extemporaha nudncite., ntqiio i puma temerilntis, vel pneeipua jiicunditas est . . urahora tamen nam sua aiionte nmscuntur.

Pitt s speech now seema like Ihe recollection of mighty sound in your ear. Kox baa left upon you the imprcHnn that ho had all the reason nnd argument nn his aide. I'itt gave you little materials for thinking upon, and Kox poured forth mnasos nf thought. Hut you do not stoti to criiiciso. Your eyes aro fix oil on ihe rush to roxs seat, and on the eager crowd ol roaring wings who soek to grasp their champion s h ind ; and yon leave the i louse astonished how a man of liii apparently idle habits can show himself ihe match lor Pitt, another prodigy of powers 'rarnin their separate excellence, won lerful in their special combination." Yon wonder still more when you find uint rex a speech uaa scarcely mirj upon the division The minister has gained by three to one, and Kox'n glory is to inspire his beaten parly in the Inm r of defeat witu hopes ot iniiire victory. Follow tho orator as he drives to Hoodie's, where he sups. There again he is first among the first, revel mg in spirits, not presuming in tun least upon his in tellectual superiority. As in ihe morning at Brooke's, so now at Hoodie's, he is welcomed by all, and mnkea himself happy among them. Well, ho is entitled to close the night with pleasure, nnd repose from his labors.

Hut what n strange look Fox's fin o is getting now! We have not seen him the wholo day exhibit that sin ister expression. He hxea his eye on Lord roley, and heeds not Cotirleimy's artificial wit and cloiaical puns, nor docs he mind "Hlue Hanger's" nphorUms about the art of dressing, nor Kitzpatrick's ruptures on Roman punch. Hveti though fresh news from Newmarket has como to niglit, he does not earn about it. We do not like tlmt hard, callous expression; it sohmis quite tiuiinlural to his countenance There ia a vicious rigi- liiy creeping over it that Is very displeasing. He nods to l.ord Foley, and the pair leave ihe room, after a hackney coach has boon ordered. When the door has been closed upon them, Cniirtenay .coarsely enough, wilh a toa of hia head, winks at l.ord Henbnrough.aiid makes significant gestures.

The storm ho had predicted came on 1 and by the evening ut the loiiownig day, sea and wind were thundering, in their might, ugitinst the foot of the crags. Guy looked from tho window the last thing at, night, and saw the stars twinkling overhead wilh that extreme brilliancy which is often seen in the intervals of fitful storms, nnd which suggested thoughts that sent him to sleep in a vague, soothing dream. He was awakened by one tremenduus contiunod roar of sea, wind, and thunder combined. Such was the darkness, that he could not see the form of ihe window, till a sheet of pain blue lightning brought it fully out for the moment, fie sat up, and listened to tho " glorious voice" that followed it, thought what an awlul niht at sea, and remembered when he used to fancy it would he the height of felicity to hnve a shipwreck nt Rcdclyfie, and shocked Mrs. Hernard by inhuman wishes that a ship would only come and be wrecked. How often had ho watched, through sounds like these, for a minute gun ! nny, hehnd once actually called op pour Annual iu the middle of the night for an imaginary signal. Uedclytle bay was a very danger ous one, a line pinco lor a wreck, wilh its precipitous crags, its single safe landing place, and the great Sling Stone on the easiern aide, with a whole progeny of nearly sunken rocks, dreaded in rough weather by the iimivrmeii inemsoives; omit was out oi tint orumury track of vessels, nnd there were only a few trad ii ions ot lerrtide wrecks long holore the lime. It seems as if he hud worked up his fancy again, for Ihe sound of a gun was for a moment in his oar. It wan lost in the rush of hail against the window, and the moaning ol Ihn wind around the house; but pre sently it returned, too surely to be imagined. He ii rang to the window, nnd Ihe broad flickering glnreof lightning revealed the black dill ami pale sea line; then all was dark and Mill, while the nlorm was bold tug its breath for the thunder burnt which in n few tnoro seconds rolled ovor-heiul, tihaking door and win dow throughout ihe house. As thn awful sound died away, in ihn moment's lull, come the gun again. He threw up the window, and an the blast of wind nnd rain swept howling into tho room, It brought another report. 'I'o close tho window, light hia candle, throw on his clothes, and hasten down stairs, wns the work jjf n very few spcolids. Luckily, Ihe key of the bont-hoiiso was lying ou tho table in the hall, where ho had left it, niter showing the boat to the Ash lord boys; he sei2ed it, caught up tho pocket telescope, put on c rough coat, nnd proceeded to undo the endli-sn fasten ings of the hall door, a very patience trying occupation: and when completed, tho gusts that were eddying round the house ready lo force lli"ir way iu everywhere, took advantage nf the firstopening to blow out his candle. However, they had in one way done good nervico, for tho shower had been as brief as it was violent, and the inky cloud wan drifting away furiously towards ihe cast, leaving ttie moon visible near hor selling, and allowed her white, cold light to shine forth, contrast ing wilh the distant sheets of pale lightning growing fainter and fainter.

The sprny leapt high in its whitenesB, and the Shntr stood up hard, hold nnd black. The waves thundered, burst ing on llioiiilt, and, high ns bo stood, the spray dashed, almost blinding him in the face, while the wind howled round him, as if gathering its might for the very purpose of wrenching him from thn dill'; but ho stood hrm, and looked out again to discern clearly what he bod thought he had seen. It was the mast of n vessel, seen plainly against tho light silvery distance of sea on tho west ot the Shag. It was in a slanting diroction, and did not move. Ho could not doubt that the ship hail struck on the dangerous rocks at Ihe entrance of the bay, and as his eyes became more accustomed In the unusual light, and made out what objects were or were not familiar, he could perceive the ship herself. He looked wilh the gtaB, but could sen no onn on hoard. nor were any boats lu sight; but observing some of ine lesser rocks, no heboid some moving hgures on them. Help! instant help! wna hia thoughts, nnd he looked toward the cove. Lights were in ihe cottage windows, and a few sounds vnme up to him, as If the fishing population wore astir. Ho hastened In the Bide of the cliff, which was partly clothed wilh brushwood. There was n descent it could hardly be culled a paih which no one ventured to attempt but himself and a few ol the boldest birds'-nesting boys of the villngo ; but he could Into no time. and scrambling, leaping, swinging himself hy Ihe bran cues, un rnaciieu ine loot ol the chit in salely, and In live minutes more was on thn nosy at thnoiidof the steep street of the cove. 1 ho quay wan crowded with Ihe Indie r people, and there wns a a Iron en conlnsion of voices, some amine all wns lost; some that ihe crow hnd got to the neks; others that some one ought to put oil and help them ; others that a Ixmt would never live in such a sen, and an old telescope was in great requisition. Hen. Hoi in son, ii lull, hardy young man oltiye-nnd-twenty, wild, reckless, high'Spiriied, and full ol mis chief and adventure, was standing ou a pile at the ex treme verge above ihn foaming water, daring the oth ers to go wilh him to ihn rescue; and lboti-;h James ilbiiry, a leeble old man, was declaring in a piteous tone it was a sin and a shame to let so many poor creatures be Inst iu night, wiiboiit one mini stirring to help them, yet all alood irresolute, watching ihn white breakers dashing on the Shag, ami the high waves that swelled and rolled between. Do you know whero ihe crew nre?" exclaimed Cuy, ahouling as loud aa he could, for the noiae of the wind and waves wna Ircim-edoon. " There, air, on the Hal blink atone," said the fortu-nato possessor of ihe telescope; "Hume ten or eleven nflliem, 1 fancy, nil huddled together." "Ay, ay!" said old Ledbury. " Poor creatures ! ihere ihey be; and what is to be dotin I can't any I I never saw a boat in such a Sin. since ihe niidit nnnr Jack, my brother, was lost, und Will Hay with him." 1 see them, said (my, who hnd tit Ihe meaniimo looked through Ins glass.

Wiiboiit another word, (Juy sprang from ihe quay lo ihe boat house, unlocked it, and, by example, showed that Ihe largest boat was to be brought out. The men helped Inm vigoroimly, and it stood on tlm narrow, pebbly beach, tlm only sale binding place in the whole bay; he threw into jt a coil of rnpo and called mil in his clear, cominanding voice, Five lo (;o with me."

I, into Ihey guessed the intense emotion that swelled iu his breail as he took tho helm, In save life, nr to lose It ; enjoyed Ihe enterprise, yet Willi (he thought that his lot might be early death ; glad il wns right thus to venture, earnest to save thmo who had freely trusted him, and rapidly, though most earnestly, rcrnlling his own repentance. Alt tins was in ins mind, though nothing wns on his face but cheerful resolution. Night thmigh It was, lidinga of the wreck had reached the upper imrt of tho village; nnd Mr. Ash ford, nmimn his heud out of bis window to loarn tho cnusn of Ihe sounds in the street, was informed by many voices main snip wna on inu nuiig rem, nuo mat nil were lost. To hnsten to thn Cove tn learn tho truth, ntid see if nny assistance could be afforded, was bis Instant thought; and he had not taken ninny iteps, before ho wns overiaxeu oy a square, sturdy hgurn, wrapped (n an immense great mat.

THE DEFENCES OF CONSTANTINOPLE. A military correspondent of thn London Times, who appears to have attentively examined the capabilities ol delence of Constantinople in case of attack, gives tho following description id' them: It requires a very favorable wind or theasiiutauce of steamboats, to enable a fleet to penetrate into tbe Dardanelles. The mail boat takes sixteen hours rrom the entrance or tho strait to the Golden Horn the nort of fJoiiatmitiniinlo. Th fortifications raised at the Dardanelles, have, moreover, ndded still more formidable dele rice a to those created by nature. Two formidable batteries, well armed, aro erected at the very entrance of tho strait, nl tho point at which the waters of the Black Sea fall into the Mediterranean. These batteries aro called"Seddil-Hal-snr," and " Ktimknlessi." Tho system of batteries on the two sides is continued in the strait itself. Timae batteries aro mounted with 400 guns, nnd nerved by a brigude or artillery, command oil by a 1'aslia. A regiment of the brigade in Indued in bat racks on each side. and well exercised nt handling their guns, for, ns is well known, tho artillery is tho beat corps in the Turkish army. Among the guns by which the passage of the Dardanelles is defended, Ihoro is one which deserves particular notice. Such guns bear llio name of ktmmtrlwkt in Turkey, nnd cast stone balls of tlm weight ol 10 quintals. Tho charge of gunpowder is nearly 0110 quinlnl. The battery in which llio kemmcrlicki are placed is called " Sullanijets " " Buttery of the Sultan." It is situated on tho Asiatic side, near the residence of ihe Tabha who commauded the brigade. It contains l2 pieces of nrtillory. Opposite to it, on thn European side, nre two batteries, the "Tntnasin," placed aide by aide wilh tho "Kilu Bihar," with 8i guns. The laiicr contains tho largest piece of artillery iu Tnrkoy. It is a kcmmcrlick, which casts stone balls of l'J quinlnls' weight. The point on which thene batteries is eroded in the narrowest in the Dardanelles. Any ships which should oudeavor to force tho strnil would, consequently, havo tu puss under a cross fire of ".1)0 pieces ol artillery, without counting all tho others which thoy might meet in their pasnnge. Tho Dardanelles could stop n French or ting Iish fleet which should endeavor to reach Constantinople; It is through this strait, which forms the southern maritime gate of Cotislanl'mople, that ihe combined Hoots of Great Britain und Franco must pass, to arrive nt tho capital, or beyond it, to protect it on the side of the Bosphnrus and the Black sen. It is through llio Hnsphorus, which forms tho northern maritime gate, (hat thn Russian lleet, coming from Odessa, would fmvo to enter. Now, lot 11s seo what are thn toon lis of de-jonce on the side of the Boapliorus nnd tho Hlack sea. This is tho moat important subject, under existing cir-ciunstiuices. It is llm point most metinced, because it is by that tho HtisMttti fleet will arrive from Sebaslopol, in enso it should make a serious nttempt by aen to take posrieasion of Ihe capital of Turkey. The Kinumn fleet in the Black sen in composed of thirteen ships of the line, or which six nro of ,o gnus, eight frigalen or CO guns, six corvettes, nnd twelve vessels of inlerinr sio. Thin Meet in supplied with a. park id artillery, of Inrge calibre, but it in drticieiit in stenmboiilH, which render iis evolutions difiieuli, and might become dangerous, particularly in the neighborhood of tho Uosphorus. The navigation of the Black sea oilers, in fact, much danger. The winds ure inconstant in that ea. They cannot bo depended on for many days in succession. The wind varies Irom nno point to another, and raises such a swell, ihat a fleet at sen could with dillictilty escape; for there is, in f.iet, no harbor nn tlm Asiatic tide, and Varna is ihe only port on the Knropenit side capable of receiving ships of large tonnage. But Voma ia a very atrong piano belonging to Turkey, nr,il to which the Kunsinns could not have acress en-ily. The Black aea is. moreover, frequently nnd suddenly covered wilh a thick log nn thick that it is imponsilde toaeolOO yards ahead, nnd, consequently, largo el rips navigating togelher, inn the risk of tailing foul of earh other, or of miming on the slmntB. The banks of Ihe two sides nt the HoHphoriis nre covered, throughout ihe year, with ihe wrecks of ships, nnd deud bodies, which ihe' sen has thrown up. Numorons modes nf defense have been created, more over, by artificial means, to defend Ihe entrance of the Hosphonis. There are "A hutterien, well nrmcd on both hnnki. l-.uch of these batteries forms a small Htone fnrlrooi, provided with barracks, powder, magazines, ni.d a inosqno; and behind each is a small village. The batteries ore tilnced nnrtlv in tlm It,.. phoiua, opposite each other, so that a ship attempting the passa;o would he exposed to tho cross-fire of both banks. Two others nro situated out of ihn Hnsnl.iirn. on Ihe Kuropean aide, and two on the Atlantic coast of llio Black Sea. Tho two batteries erocUd at the Infinities ol' n t'"' "t me ioapiiorua are provided wh .iuM-hmisoa, (fenert) and are. for that reason. called that, on the Asiatic side, ' Amntoll Fener," and mat in iMiropo, " Kumili l-eimr." Tho Pnsha, at tho Is-ad ol the artillery of the Black Bea, resides at Rutin U Fener, and his house commands au extensive view ol tho aen. In tho Bo.phorus itself, close to the entrance, are ilht butteries, four on each aide. Those are the (int. teries chielly for defense. They contain (15 guns of tho largest size. They are placed in ihe narrowest pari ol' the strait, where tho width does not exceed l,.fthO yords. Tho waters or tho Black Sea rush through this passage, with impetuosity, and its navigation ia rendered still more (Jangerous by I ho shallowness of the water in one spot, where tho vessels, in ordr to avoid the shoals, nre obliged to anoronrh wilhin 500 yaids of the Asiatic batteries, so that n lleet which : should attempt to foico au entrance, would be lilernlly ! riddled by phot. I Further mi in the Strait, this system of batteries coniinues. nome nre piacmton a level with the ground, bo as tn sweep the stir lace of the sea, and others aro erected on tho summii of rocks, plunging their lire on llio ships. The guns nre mounted on a siono platform, in order to obviate Ihe inconveniences occasioned in mannutvering them by the changes in tho temperature. Above each battery is a wooden tower nf symmetrical construction, surmounted bv a long nolo for the lines. oeee pom mtvu nn leiegrspilB mr tno transmission 01 orders along the whole line of Ihe Bosnhorua. Whun a ship of ihe Ottoman navy passes, ihe batteries 1. a lute her by hoisting n ting, bearing the crescent and tho star. Tlm sultnn sometimes comes to breathe the sea air in oils of his pi I aces on Iho Hosphorus. All tfie batieries then hoist a large banner, bearing a white aun 011 a crimson ground. A brigade of anilb-ry is specially charged with the service of the batteries along the Bosphorus and Bloc k Sea, nnd another Is intrusted with the defence of ihn Dardanelles. It consists ot Iwo regiments, ot six com panies of l.r0 men each in all 1,80(1 artillermen. 1'tiese artillerymen are well drilled, und were ornatt- ied by the I'mssi ui Colonel Kurkowsky, assisted by a number of non-commissioned officers he had brought with him. It will be seen by this summary descrtntlon of ibn fortifications of Constantinople, that the Capital of tho lurRish r. ui pirn, even 11 abandoned to ilaff, would not bo so easily conquered. Tho elements, iho approach to the Bnsphorns on the side of tlm Hlnrk 8en. the dangerous passage of Iho Siraita, tho fortiticaiinus roustrucied by the Turks, tho numerous batteries erected on both sides of the Channel, and tlm -1,11 guns mourned on ihem, served oy good artillerymen, are means of resistance against which, in all probability, thn KiiflHimi tl-et would fail.

Ho heat ran answer the question; but my opinion now, nn in Ihe hnpintiiug ol this question, is, that so long ns Knglnnd and Franco tire united to protect Turkey from agression, Bosnia will be powerless to assail her.
